6 years agoThank you to all that donated towards the HMS Simbang plinth, the plinth is now in place on the memorial. As you can see, there is a fair amount of weathering to the other plinths, following the wet weather. It is all going to be cleaned-up, and a stone sealant applied, so the memorial will be looking as-new come the spring.

I was OC 3BAS from April 1969 and also served in 40 Cdo from Dec 68 -Apr 69. I was also stationed at SIMBANG for a while in 1963 in 845 Sqn . So I have fond memories of the place. Great times !
